rich concubine

Chapter 1889 Doctor of the Household Department
Today, Meng has enough confidence and courage to fight because he has a group of generals who are indomitable and soldiers who serve the country and the people.

We have force, but our confidence and courage cannot only rely on force. We must also make the country rich and the people strong.

The queen looked at Rong Yi, suddenly mentioned her, and said, "I heard that the Crown Princess has adopted many orphans."

Rong Yi replied: "Back to your mother-in-law, I have indeed adopted some children, but not too many. I am just trying my best."

The queen smiled gently and said: "You are the best if you have such a heart. This person is not afraid of being weak-minded. What is afraid of him is that he doesn't even dare to think about it, a person who doesn't even think about it, let alone a person who can't even think about it. If you do it, even if you just adopt an orphan, it will change a person's destiny. Maybe this orphan adopted by you will become a famous figure in the future and a talent that the country of Meng needs."

At this point, she sighed and said: "Although I am not among the people, I have heard about what is happening among the people. Now I want to ask Mrs. Gewai, what changes have happened in the capital over the years?"

As soon as the question is asked, there are various answers.

"The capital is becoming more and more prosperous, and more and more people are coming to the capital. In the words of outsiders, here, at the feet of the emperor, is a blessed land. Being able to come here is a matter of courage, and being able to stay is a matter of ability. Now The fact that so many people can stay in the capital shows that your majesty is brave and capable of governing!"

"The capital is getting cleaner and cleaner. In the early years, you could easily encounter pickpockets and thieves on the streets. Nowadays, there are almost no pickpockets and thieves. We must maintain long-term peace and stability! Now we can keep our doors open at night, so we don't have to worry."

"My wife noticed that in the capital, there were fewer homeless people and no more beggars. This should be the biggest change. When everyone has enough to eat and can afford to live in a house, there will be no There will be no more homeless people.”

When these people say nice things, they say one thing after another, but they don't say that there are fewer wandering beggars because they are driven away. Even Meng Guo today is so tough in the eyes of others. In the eyes of others, every household in Meng has a smooth life, but in fact, such a country has also had extremely miserable people, but these people will never appear in the eyes of the people above.

The queen was naturally not easy to fool. After hearing so many replies, every word was praising the emperor for his good governance.

She said nothing, but looked at Chang Le and said: "I know that the daughter of the eldest family has traveled all over the world. I think I know more comprehensively. What do you think, Miss Chang San?"

Compared with these shrewd ladies, Changle is obviously much more straightforward. She does not always say nice things, but says: "In my humble opinion, I don't think Meng Guo is as smooth as he seems on the face of it." , the real life is not in the aristocratic houses on Zhuque Street, but in remote places, places where even shouting can't be heard. In the early years, the courtier did go to many places, and what she saw was shocking. .”

The Queen seemed to be particularly interested in the story she told, so she asked her to share with everyone what she had seen, felt and understood over the years.

After Changle considered his words, he spoke honestly.

She has placed the most real human sufferings that she has witnessed over the years in front of people living in "Wonderland". Her rendering ability is good, and the stories she tells are as if they are immersive. When she talks about orphans and widows, The mother was desperate and sold her body to raise her son. When someone cut off her finger, some people showed unbearable expressions and sighed softly.

When she told the story about the poor people who had no choice but to have an old mother who was sick and had no money for medical treatment, and was finally buried alive by her own son, some people's eyes became hot and they wiped away tears.

It was even more heartbreaking when she said that floods had invaded and a village had been submerged by floods, and only the remains of newborn children were left.

She said: "We live in a paradise world, and everything we see is prosperity. Things that make us unhappy and difficult to live with are all unattainable in the eyes of these people. I have seen people who would spend a lot of money just for a penny." Fighting, fighting to the death, without giving in, and a penny, in the hands of people like us, is nothing." Of those present, maybe some people really don't know, maybe some people are really pretending to be deaf and dumb .

And Chang Le's words must let them know what the outside world is like. One day, someone will come to remind you that the happiness you have obtained is something that others dare not even think about in their lifetime.

For example, some people even drink milk as a luxury, while others can take continuous milk baths to keep their skin lubricated.

The queen's face darkened, and she said: "Yes, everything you can see is prosperous, but who knows how dark the places you can't see are?"

"I feel heartbroken when I hear the natural and man-made disasters you mentioned just now. The people of Meng State are still living in dire straits, but I can't do anything about it. As the ladies just said, the passage of time will definitely make Meng State become better and better. But who can tell me how to make things better?"

If there are no generals, the warm-blooded men of Meng can go into battle to fight against the enemy; if there are no literary talents, there are schools where they can study.

But all this requires money to support it.

When you are going to be outside, food and grass are indispensable.

In the school, it is difficult for children from poor families to enter.

If there is no money, how can we relieve our worries?
Underneath, no one spoke anymore. After looking at each other, they were all silent.

As if thinking of this result, the queen felt a little cold, but she was not in a hurry. She glanced at everyone, and someone raised her head and said, "I thought that in order to build up the country, revitalize education, and cultivate talents, The first thing is money. Without this thing, everything is empty talk."

As soon as these words came out, Rong Yi was stunned for a moment. He looked over and saw that the speaker was a young woman. She had never seen her before, so she was not familiar with her.

The Queen's glasses lit up, she looked over and said, "Who is the speaker?"

The man stood up, with a cold look in his eyes, and said respectfully: "My concubine, Yu Yuan, is the wife of Song Xian, a doctor in the household department. She has met the empress!"

I have heard less about Doctor Hubu, but now, the Queen has remembered this person's name. She breathed a sigh of relief quietly and said: "Sit down, you are right. Today, what is most lacking is money, and what is most needed is money." Money is also money. It is not an easy task to make the country strong and ensure that every child born has a hot meal and a roof to shelter from the rain. I would like to ask you, how many children do you have in your family? Raise these children , how much money do you need?”

Who can remember each of these accounts clearly?But everyone knew that what the empress asked was not just literal.
